Tell me you're not old enough to remember the Performa and Centris lines without telling me you're not old enough to remember the Performa and Centris lines.

SELinux, and that was NSA.

This seems to be missing both an ORM and an argument for building without one; I'd have a hard time calling something a "full full-stack framework" without either an ORM or a very well-articulated statement for why that's a non-goal and what convention replaces it, allows for auto-generated admin pages, etc.

I don't think an ORM is necessary, but I do think you need to say what people are meant to do instead and how your batteries are included without it, if you're going that direction.

Anyone got a quick primer on what 7-Oh is? That's a new term for me and the web search doesn't seem reliable.

Seems odd not to acknowledge and differentiate yourself from [apache ant](https://ant.apache.org).

Failure to do so certainly makes me think the new project isn't very serious.

> TL;DR: I dislike private-equity and venture funded companies messing with our security, so I created my own Password Manager which is local-first, free, open source and as transparent as it gets.

I do too! And I appreciate your transparency about the vibe coding. But nowhere in the repository that I've found so far do you say who is writing this. For something like a password manager, I kind of need to know who's responsible for it, and who's reviewing the LLM source code, what they've done before, what their business model is, etc.

Can you share?

Hard agree! Not only is it less fun and less visually appealing to me, I think forcing the uniform squircle everywhere makes it harder (than it used to be) to distinguish one app from another by icon alone.

It was originally pitched as a "distraction blocker" and it works in two modes. As a browser and as a content blocker, if you enable it in Safari's extension settings. I've still got it set up as a content blocking Safari extension (you find that in Settings -> Apps -> Safari -> Extensions) and it still seems to be blocking ads for me. Maybe not as many as it once did, but I just turned it off to see, and that made an unpleasant difference.

I think I've been using it for 10 years (or so) now. It's my favorite thing Mozilla has done on iOS.

What?

The only thing I use Firefox on iOS for *is* its ad blocker.

Sectigo used to be Comodo's CA business. If memory serves, that business was purchased by a US PE firm and renamed "Sectigo". Sectigo Inc.'s corporate headquarters is now in Scottsdale, AZ.

There's no reason to believe they're any less subject to US jurisdiction than LetsEncrypt.

The M1s have the modular ports, if iFixIt is to be believed:

I've only changed a battery on that model, not the ports, so I haven't verified, but those steps are detailed enough and consistent enough with what I observed, that I believe them.

The piece I linked, along with the parts for sale in the iFixIt shop seem to contradict your assertion. The piece says:

"The Neo has the same modular bits and bobs we’ve applauded in recent MacBook designs. The USB-C ports are modular, so a damaged charge port doesn’t turn into logic board work."
